On Friday night, October 16th, Roger Waters participated in this year's Music Heals benefit concert in aid of MusiCorps. Joining Roger was Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan, as well as Tom Morello, GE Smith, and the MusiCorps Band.

The event raises money for MusiCorps - a charity supporting injured service men and women and their families. MusiCorps Band is made up of injured service members who have learned, and in some cases relearned, how to play instruments through the charity.

The concert was held at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington DC, a venue which seats around 3,700. Roger has supported MusiCorps for a number of years and served as a mentor to members of the MusiCorps Band, playing with the veterans at the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington DC and encouraging their love of music as part of the rehabilitation process.

The setlist, shown below, included some unusual and unexpected choices, to please the crowd, and initial reports are that the performances were highly impressive throughout. We are expecting some show reports through shortly, but in the meantime, here's what was played:
